Guild Wars 2

At least on Tarnished Coast, Fields of Ruin is perhaps the most bugged zone I’ve encountered as of yet. My main is level 37 and I have about half of the zone completed but I have come across five bugged DEs, group events, etc. Several DE’s with goals that are unachievable because they don’t spawn or are bugged and don’t count. Two skill challenges that are bugged and unachievable (and I am told there are others as well).

I really enjoy this zone. Ever since I read Ghosts of Ascalon I could not wait to explore Ebonhawk, check out the Dragonbrand. But at every turn I find something broken in the game, it’s driving me nuts and certainly driving me away from the zone. I was hoping to save other zones for alts, but at this rate that isn’t going to happen. Though I could just WvW or craft to 40.

One of the major problems of having a zone with so many bugged events is that event chains are at a stand still. I can spend an hour and do ‘maybe’ two DEs, and most likely they are the same ones I’ve done four times before because they are the only ones that work. It makes the zone feel so very empty.

I just hope it isn’t a common problem going forward. I understand Orr has some issues, but I’m a slow leveler so I expect many to be fixed by the time I get there. I may just work on an alt or three (yea.. altoholic haha) while they fix things.

In the end I’m making this thread in hopes that Anet realizes the zone needs work and fixes things. It’s a very interesting zone with a lot of lore behind it. But right now it’s just not very easy to do and I really hope that changes.

The same things are going on, on the Gandarra Server.
Especially in the Hautclaire region of the zone.

Also in a number of quest mob kills don’t count toward completing. When according to the quest tracker they should.

Same thing on Isle of Janthor. I keep going back to QueensDale as a level 40+ because it’s the only zone I’ve been in where the dragon event “Shadow Behemoth” works regulary.

I had to skip at least 5 skill challenges because the npc to start it was either missing, or wouldn’t talk to me.

Fields of Ruin is the worst I’ve seen. The zone feels completely dead, no one goes there do to the bugs that when the events are working I find myself trying to solo a guy that can one shot me if I fail to dodge.

An example, there’s a guest in the south east of the zone where a lady has 3 dogs you have to guard. She was there for days (literally, real days) guarding the dogs and nothing was attacking her except for the event related mob pat’s the occasionally got in range.

IMO, this game is awesome, but when you can’t do the big (chest yielding) events in a zone because the events in the chain are bugged, it’s really disappointing.

You guys should have something on an event that if it is still up you should reset the event automatically.

Or you could gracefully transfer everyone to overflow everyday at a set time and reset the whole zone. That way we could at least come back in 24 hours, as it stands now I’ve seen the same event bug out for 7 days until you to a patch and reset the servers.

The same goes for the Yaks bend server. Most events in this area are bugged or the NPC’s are missing.
